Ukuthi uDavid Bowie wayengumculi we-chameleon yinto ephosakeleyo. Kodwa kuya kufuneka uqale ngento yokuchaza iingqondi.
Ukuqhubeka nalo mzobo wokuqala, makhe siqwalasele umntu ngokwakhe. Ubukho bukaBuyie yayiyinto epholileyo ngokwayo. Ukubonakala kwakhe kwimiboniso bhanyabhanya okanye ukuphuma kwakhe kwinqanaba sele kunikezele ngalawo mazwe abo bahamba emhlabeni bachukunyiswe lilungu.
Yiza ukuzisa umbala kumzobo kaBuyie ngobuchule bakhe obungenakuphikiswa. Ngaphandle kobukho bakhe obunamandla, lo mfo udale umculo omnandi kakhulu, repertoire yeengoma ezingapheliyo ezibonakala ngathi zizalwe ngengqondo ye-psychedelia (umbono oqiniswe lilizwi lakhe elingenakuchazeka lelizwi) kwaye ezigqityiweyo zatsalwa njengeengoma zeekorasi ezinkulu ezazingavakali zigwetyelwe umgangatho wobugcisa njenge pop.
Ekugqibeleni, ubukrelekrele njengomlinganiswa, ngakumbi kwimeko ka Bowie, buphela buxeliswa ngokugqibeleleyo, kunye nomlingiswa wakhe, nendima yakhe.

Ngaphandle kokubonakala kwabazinikeleyo kunye nabalandeli, abanokukwazi ukufumana nayiphi na imbonakalo yakhe esidlangalaleni njengezinto zobuthixo; usapho kunye nabahlobo, amanye amagcisa, abantu ababehamba naye emva kwezigcawu banikezela kule ncwadi umzobo womntu osemva kobu buchule.
Phakathi kwabantu abaninzi abajikeleze uBuyie, ubuntu bengqondi buphela buchazwa. Yintoni eyile indlela yakhe, yintoni eyamnika imvelaphi eyimfuneko yokwenza umculo, ukupeyinta imifanekiso yakhe. Kwaye sele uyazi ukuba indalo ihlala inamatyala ayo angafakwanga kunye neendawo ezinesiphango kuthando okanye ngaphambili.
